We had a lovely stay overall. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Property is beautiful, breakfast delicious, room comfortable and clean. As you have to keep doors open for ventilation, the surrounding area sounds such as motorcycles on the road and rooster next door are more apparent. Overall recommend!

La Terraza is a wonderful place to stay and I highly recommend it. It’s centrally located in the mountains of Costa Rica and there are many day trips only an hour away that can be made. The property itself is very beautiful and relaxing and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I look forward to my next trip there.

The property was clean and well kept. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was friendly. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay this is not it. It is located on a busy road with extremely loud traffic all day and night. Ear plugs were provided but were useless. I'm happy thay my stay was limited to one night as I require quiet enjoyment in my lodgings. Parking was also tricky and the rivers and gardens mentioned in other reviews were non existent. This property is 2 hours away from San Jose Airport so not close.

I arrived late into the evening, yet the owner welcomed me in person with a big smile while assisting me with my luggage, instantly making me feel at home while away from home. The grounds are clean, beautiful, and relaxing. The breakfast offered each day was delicious and a full course meal. The staff were friendly and very helpful, from the maintenance to the ladies prepping the morning coffee, to the driver who took me to the store and waited until I finished to bring me back.It is close to the central park area with restaurants and shopping with a very short cab ride. It is definitely a priority place for me to stay when coming to Grecia, and I can highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful place. Lovely gardens. Thoughtful breakfast. I was promised a cooked dinner, gave dietary restrictions, was asked if I was considering relocation, yes. No dinner, No discussions, all dark in the office! SO disappointing! I was given the one room with supplied earplugs because the bed is right on the noisy road! Only one other room occupied! I did get an e-mail and a reminder in the room suggesting $3-5 tip Per Day for the maid. I'm on vacation and did not appreciate being abandoned and the asking for my help in paying their staff!!!! The internet name on the wall did not match reality. Extra letters in the passcode were not taped off as they were not part of the code. Very disappointed !!

you will be surrounded by nature if you stay here. it's lovely to sleep with the white noise.

they welcomed us with home-made banana bread, which was really sweet.

the place is really safe, a 15min drive to downtown. if you're here to chill, this would be the perfect option! not too much things to do nearby, but you could drive to poás volcano for example.

The host is super kind and welcoming, you're have a great time believe me!

I had great experience! Cozy place. First I was getting a room with many steps but as a mature woman who has knee problems I asked for broom away from street and no stairs. Room was small but enough for me! The bed wasn’t as comfortable but I am spoiled with my own mattress! The shower might need a bit more attention, perhaps using bleach to get rid of the molds on the corner or floor. I always wear shower shoes anyway so there wasn’t a problem for me. I am a clean germ freak!!! Overall I loved it and will come back again! Thanks

This site was breathtaking with its Italian lights on the lush greenery and colorful jungle artwork on the outside walls. The room was huge and had all the appliances I could need, But my favorite spot was the balcony with rocking chairs that overlooked the backyard. The sound of the rushing river, combined with my rocking and drinking wine calmed me down.
l
Due to the loss of Internet while driving to the site, lack of signage of streets and routes, and incorrect driving directions. Eventually, I found my way near a church and parked outside of it - with no gas. People who came to my aid called a taxi and helped me unload the car.
The taxi came, my stuff was unloaded and I met Paola, the site manager.
The next morning when I asked for her help in retrieving my car and getting gas for it, she called a friend who drove the two of us to the gas station, filled two gallons of gas into containers, drove us to the car site, modified a plastic bottle to make a funnel, and filled the tank.
Talk about going above and beyond! They certainly did!

So, what could have been an overwhelmingly awful experience with being lost and running out of gas, was ameliorated readily by the beauty of La Terrazza and the caring, concerned staff.

La Terraza Guest House is a beautiful property surrounded by beautiful foliage in a park like setting. It is in a serene setting where all you'll hear are the songs of the beautiful birds in the morning. There is a hot full breakfast ready every morning to get your day started, along with a fruit smoothie, coffee and tea. If you love seeing hummingbirds, you will get an eyeful. There is a river that runs through the property and if you love the sound of flowing water, this is for you! It is only about 10 minutes to get to downtown Grecia where there are restaurants and coffee shops, ice-cream shops, a beautiful central park, and many other types of shops, including banks. The owner was extremely hospitable, along with the host and the other employees who were friendly and warm. The owner and host will assist with setting up excursions and can make recommendations on where to go for day trips. We enjoyed our time there and highly recommend this establishment.

The property is a gem with beautiful gardens and a creek running through it. It is gated so I felt very safe. It consists of a main house that serves as a central kitchen/office with a lovely patio for breakfast; as well as several other villas for guest rooms. The location is outside of town and on a hill, so not very walkable.

The room was lovely—very comfortable and clean. It included nice amenities like mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron, blow dryer, and major streaming services, among others. Each room had its own private balcony overlooking the lovely gardens. Only downside was the lack of air conditioning.

Staff was super friendly and everyone spoke English. The price. Included breakfast each morning which was delicious and included local cuisine. I highly recommend La Terrezza Guest House for a relaxing stay.

If you're seeking an escape that transcends the ordinary, look no further than La Terraza Guest House B&B in Grecia, Costa Rica. This isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience that will leave you rejuvenated, connected to nature, and utterly smitten with Costa Rican charm.

The El Rio Apartment is a cozy haven, tastefully decorated with local flair. I fell in love with the private balcony overlooking the verdant paradise, and well-equipped kitchen for a touch of home. But the true magic lies in the little details – fresh flowers adorning the tables, local artwork gracing the walls, and the ever-present melody of nature outside your window.

And, the food! Every morning, you're treated to a carefully curated breakfast. I was impressed that every breakfast consisted of a different, yet hearty, meal. The Chef, Ana, really did her thing to tantalize my palate!

In my opinion, the heart and soul of La Terraza is its incredible family. They run the place with genuine warmth and care, making you feel like a cherished guest, not just a tourist. Their passion for their country and dedication to creating a memorable experience are infectious, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for Costa Rican hospitality. Special thanks to Charles, Paola, Ana, Brayan, Mauricio, and Edgardo! They truly made my experience incredible. It was very hard to leave!

Spacious, well maintained, super friendly staff, balcony with a gorgeous view, and an amazing breakfast! We would definitely stay there again! The kids didn't want to leave the hotel. Definitely explore the grounds over the bridge, if the gate is unlocked. Beautiful. The only feedback for improvement I have for the owner is that the toilet seat should be replaced (or maybe just tightened?) As it shifts around a lot when sitting on it. But even with that, 5 stars for sure.

Perfect Little Gem

La Terraza Guest House is a quaint little boutique hotel nestled in the hills just outside of the town of Grecia. The room was comfortable and spacious. I traveled alone and I felt perfectly safe here. Don’t expect piping-hot water or stellar water pressure. This is Costa Rica! Parking is also a bit tight when the property is booked. Bonus that my room had a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. I loved falling asleep to the sound of the river and waking up to birds chirping and roosters crowing. The grounds are gorgeous and breakfast was delicious. Paola, the caretaker is a sweetheart and welcomed me with a freshly baked treat. If you are visiting Grecia, La Terraza is definitely the best accommodation around. Highly recommend.

This is one of the very few properties to stay in while in Grecia. The breakfast was good but if you need parking then please do not pick this place. It’s a hassle and challenge to enter and close.

Be sure to specifics your arrival time because they do t have any one at the desk after a certain hours. They will make you wait until someone else there.
